Astarion beating Daeran in that cuntiness poll is so sad... It is obvious that he is winning thanks to people who only know Astarion voting for him because Daeran would make him cry in a minute and drink his wine as if nothing happened afterwards.
#i saw someone saying they voted astarion because daeran was annoying like-#my man pissed off the queen of mendev herself... he was the epitome of cuntiness

Celia & Cecio backstory!!!!! Silver & Gold!! the horrible siblings!!!
this covers their early lives, and until both reach the point they would be at the start of their respective pwotr runs, with less detail towards the end as the fine details are still being worked out. warnings for mentions of ill health brought on by childbirth and one line mention of sex work.
Celia was born to a unknown father and a Chelaxian mother in Westcrown, they both lived in relative poverty, with her mother doing washing work, unfortunately, between her own poverty stricken life and the cold and harsh nature of washing clothes to support her and her baby Celia, her health was bad enough before she gave birth, and she had been advised not to have another child, something she did not worry about because she was happy with her and her baby.
When Celia was five, her mother caught the eye of a visiting merchant from Andoran, who she fell in love with, quickly finding herself pregnant. He made honeyed promises of paying doctors to ensure her health, but a month before she was due to give birth, he returned to Andoran, and his wife.
When Celia was six, she and a fellow washerwoman acted as the midwives, helping her mother through a painful birth that resulted in Cecio - named after the chickpeas of a foreign dish she had craved during pregnancy. This had a major impact on their mothers health, leading to Celia having to gradually take over raising her brother and being the breadwinner, through begging, thievery, and odd jobs.
When Celia was 12 and little Cecio was six, their mother finally succumbed to her illness, leaving them behind. Shortly after, a man appeared on their doorstep, taking Cecio to his father, leaving Celia behind, only told through a neighbor's eavesdropping on the conversation.
Now alone, she takes more and more dangerous jobs, leading to her narrowly escaping arrest in a hellknight raid on the tavern she gets her jobs at. The voice and stature of one of the hellknights seems familiar, and when she crawls out of her cubby hole the next morning and is met in the alleyway with a kind voice coming from the hellknight, she realizes that one of the previous regulars was an undercover hellknight.
She sits on the roof of where she used to live, and talks to her neighbor, debating whether she should sell her body, like her neighbor, her life like her fellow criminals, or her soul by attempting to join the hellknights. She chooses the hellknights, and spends weeks refinding the hellknight, monitoring them, and finding out who their target is.
Eventually, she meets the hellknight again, handing over all the information she could get on the target, including some only a street kid could find. She becomes an informant for the Hellknight, eventually becoming an Armiger.
Life as a Hellknight informant and later armiger is tough, but it has the order and coin that she needs. Eventually she finds information about an Andoran noble taking in a bastard son, one with her little Cecios silver hair and eyes.
She slowly gathers information on him, until she finally manages to send letters to her little brother, his replies painted a harsh picture, a distant father and a resentful stepmother, an older and younger brother, respectively resistant to his presence and ignorant of the whole situation. And worse of all, his training is not funded, so while his only path to success is through the art of war, he doesn't have the coin needed to fund that path.
Soon most of Celia's earnings are dispatched on merchant ships to Andoran, with only the money for her necessities kept behind. These letters and spending of coin are disguised as an informant network, and indeed she rises quickly in importance due to her knowledge of the inner workings of the Andoran council, all taken from her brother's gossip about the people who visit the house and don’t see his presence.
Thanks to his sister's support, Cecio is able to become a squire for a paladin, and thanks to his information, Celia is able to become an armiger as well as be respected as an information gatherer.
It seems like soon Celia will take her Hellknight test, and Cecio will be able to be the son his father respects.
[Unfortunately, Celia is sent on a mission to seek the corruption in the Mendevian crusades, and Cecio is sent along with his knight master to the very same crusades]
#celia#cecio#gold & silver#pwotr#this is a bit more celia focused but i have her story clearer rn#and she is older than him#not sure if the corruption investigation into the crusades will stick#but its a good as answer as any as to why an order of the scourge armiger & helknight informant would be in mendev

it would be funny if tane was from minata and she dropped out of demon slayer homeschooling and ended up being a local witcher-esque monster hunter. often called to hunt down manananggal and wayang but it turns out she's actually friends with most of them
#.txt#howd she end up in mendev? who knows#areelu brought her there anyways thats not my problem anymore#oc: tane#and anyways this is like. a good precursor to her recruiting the free crusaders. she loves her little freaks of nature#im also thinking about how her divine huntering comes in but honestly i might just change that into something else

Time for Camellia... I have the time so may as well cross another companion off the list.
Now that's one that brings a lot of complicated feelings.
First and foremost, Nela didn't mind the bloodthirstiness. She knew, it was obvious, but she didn't care. She isn't an idiot and, even if most of her knowledge previous to the game about the Crusades was theoretical (and painfully outdated), it didn't take her long to understand people like Camellia are very much a necessity in the Crusades. You can't fill an army only with lofty ideals, treating it as a requisite is stupid.
She may also have a personal beef with pushing ideals on people. Just saying.
Their relationship was still much colder than with other companions, and Nela kept it mostly at a professional level. Nela is Andoren, so nobility is out of the question, but she spent a significant part of her life being fairly poor. Camellia's obvious disdain for those below her station was much more of a real problem to her.
Still, she was doing her part. Nela wasn't going to let her personal discomfort get in the way of work.
That's it until the Act 3 quest happens.
What then happened wasn't motivated by morality or her own personal feelings. Camellia was useful in theory, yes, but she stopped to be so when enemy corpses weren't enough to keep her satisfied. An asset out of control isn't an asset, it's a liability. Common soldiers and such were no less valuable to her.
She couldn't trust Camellia to be upfront with her anymore, and she couldn't afford to spend the kind of resources necessary to keep watch over her. Besides, for starters, who was going to be able to keep Camellia in check when if she kept her mythic powers? Most if not all guards she could assign to control her would be easy prey.
Besides, feeding blood to a crazed spirit was definitely not tracking as a logical and productive course of action either.
So she had her killed.
#oc: nela damasio#when I say Nela as the Commander can come across as cold this is what I mean#morality is always weighted in any choice but it won't always be the driving force behind a decision#she is a Good character but she has no bleeding heart#the player doesn't hate Camellia btw#I find her a fascinating character#and I spent a good while thinking in if I could justify keeping her alive#but I really couldn't#Nela's feelings about nobility are hilariously complicated#because on one hand she understands dropping a government and social system isn't really a feasible thing for many countries#less so freaking Mendev#but she is still Andoren and doesn't particularly enjoy the idea

Lifespan-gap romances stress me out so much, I don't know why I'm doing them in two different games rn.
#idk whats worse#even with some big magic astarion/palla getting a handful of decades before she dies and goes.... somewhere#or Daeran/Ligeia where they can probably extend things but once he's gone they definitely aren't ending up in the same place w/o some refor#maybe Trickster powers can get around that but if not Mendev prep for Worldwound 2: Electric Boogaloo#meanwhile Lae'zel/Vatra: *laughing in Astral Plane*

feeling like redesigning my pwotr character which is unfortunate because she has the most aesthetically pleasing pinterest board of all my ocs by far
#i try to stick to an aesthetic but then i find things that work perfectly for the character and i have to add them even if they dont go#she'd have the same vibe/aesthetic though i'd just be changing her appearance a little#i've been intrigued by the idea of boring looking tieflings lately for some reason#they still have the horns and the tail and the spiny bodies and all i just mean giving them natural skin/hair colours#like pink and purple and blue is so fun but i think it would be pretty fucked up to be just sliiiiightly off . just a little bit Not Right#especially for blythe her whole Thing is she tries to be as charming as possible to make up for what she is. to be the Good Tiefling#she files down her claws and keeps her horns short and it works in varisia but mendev is probably the worst place to be a tiefling#every time someone flinches when they look at her because they assume she's a demon she takes so much psychic damage#atp i should just tag this#oc: blythe#dee.txt

The heavy 'I thought doing this would bring you into Iomedae's light' overtones of Galfrey recruiting a non-Iomedaen Knight Commander is delicious to me.
So much of the Crusade (like many wars, naturally) is about the Propaganda and the legitimization of Iomedae's church. I wonder if Galfrey sees it as something of a personal failing if the KC chooses any path other than Angel, more than just the frustration and jealousy she admits to later. She is Iomedae's first Paladin, after all. She's staked so much on her new Goddess being what they need, what is necessary, and what is good for her people; for ALL people! The idea that she'd be unable to inspire one of her own vanguard to convert to her Goddess must be maddening.
It’s the way all ontological wars are waged, the insistence that if you aren't already a part of or willing to convert to the singular 'correct path' then failure is imminent. It's the fallacy that Only (unquestioned) Good Can Triumph Over (unexamined) Evil.
#pathfinder wotr#pf wotr#Queen Galfrey#I really love how Olwcat fleshed out her character and I cannot stop chewing on that grist#like damn they really made A PALADIN and she's so COMPLEX#my first playthrough I was so angry at her and it was like being back in church again#and examining it since it's like yeah she IS the church in all it's beautiful and terrible complexity#'church' here of course is doing a lot of heavy lifting - there's more to be examined wrt what facets of christianity are 'iomedaen'#And here's the thing she never ever actually evangelizes to KC which is important here#she's such a FIGURE that the assumption would be that she doesn't need to try and convert someone#they would just need to see her in action and decide Iomedae is the way to go#Because she's THE Paladin and THE Queen#Forgetting conveniently that her influence only extends as far as her territory#which is why Mendev MUST win this war under Iomedae's banner#It perpetuates the myth that began when the Shining Crusade was one: This is the only group that can actually triumph over evil#(CONVENIENTLY FORGETTING THE WHISPERING TYRANT ISN'T LIKE. GONE. JUST AWAY.)#Every 'Triumph over Evil' the Iomedaen crusade takes credit for has just been a really big bandaid on a broken bone#Deskari wasn't destroyed; The Whispering Tyrant is just sleeping; etc etc#A legitimate victory against 'the forces of evil' means less in the grand scheme than the ideological victory of more converts#'Convert to the only side that will win. Pay no attention to the 70 year deadlock'#'also do not pay attention to the 10 years we refused to do anything because it was more convenient to let those savage kellids die out.'#anyway#navel gazing

replaying wotr and i am having such a hard time deciding btwn angel + legend for angharad
#personal post#ch: angharad dulmin#like where it comes in the game she feels like she's being robbed of power she rightfully earned (her title her troops her citadel etc)#and i think asking her to give up her mythic power regardless of where she actually got it from is a bridge too far for her#but i can also see her thinking the following:#1) angels are way too iomedae coded + tbh she never was fond of her anyway#2) she can prove that she can do all of that shit again without the powers as a fuck you to iomedae + mendev#PLUSSSSSSSSS i think she would have a horrible time with like not being able to interfere with her beloved absalom#but she wouldn't know that yet
